Thousands of years of human history, from prehistoric settlement and Iron Age communities to Anglo-Saxon burials and medieval gatherings, are the focus of a new exhibition opening at Corinium Museum this September.

A major new chapter for Cirencester is on the horizon after Cotswold District Council granted outline planning permission for the Royal Agricultural University’s pioneering Innovation Village earlier this year.  

A fragment from a long-lost 2nd century Roman mosaic depicting a sea creature has found
its way back to the Corinium Museum. The mosaic was originally unearthed on Dyer Street
in 1783 and recorded through an intricate drawing by the antiquarians Samuel Lysons and
Richard Smirke.
